That should be a task for thunar-volman (Settings>Removable Drives
and
Media) but it's broken for auto-mount.
You can use gnome-fallback-mount-helper (the name may not be exactly
that as I don't have it in my custom installation, but the default Xfce
spin has it as it comes with gnome-settings-daemon/GDM).
Edit /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-fallback-mount-helper.desktop and
check
the "NotShowIn" or "OnlyShowIn" line and add XFCE besides GNOME.
I did that.
Then logout and login and check Settings>Session and Startup to
see if
gnome-fallback-mount-helper has started or is checked to start
automatically.
It hadn't and wasn't. In fact, I didn't see anything that looked
like it.
Then install dconf-editor, open it and browse to
org.gnome.desktop.media-handling and enable auto-mount and auto-browse
(the terminology may be different but you'll get the idea).
They're both already checkmarked, apparently as the defaults.
Should I uncheck them??
That's it, gnome-settings-daemon will take care of the
auto-mounting for
ya.
Then you may remove (yum remove) thunar-volman if you like.
I wrote this from memory, hope it helps.
Well, it's a start, for which thanks! But I'm still floundering.
One question: do I have to log out & in, or something, to get gnome-
settings-daemon to do its magic?

I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
